Abstract
What about negative masses and
energies?
2D simulation of the large-scale structure in terms of interaction between two populations,
with opposite masses.
( 2D simulation of the large-scale structure, work by ... 1992 )
A possible scenario for galaxy formation.
Galaxies confined by surrounding twin matter counter-pressure.
( "missing mass effect": galaxies confined by surrounding repulsive twin matter )
Spiral structure.
( spiral structure: result of the "dynamical friction of galaxies on their twin matter environment." Rotation curves recovered. Work by ... 1993 )
2 - Negative gravitational lensing. Exact Schwarzschild solutions, conjugated.

Gravitational lensing due to negative mass matter.
( strong gravitational lensing effects are not absolute proof of the existence of "dark matter")
Exotic matter or exotic geometry?
( an alternative way of viewing things, neither more nor less speculative )
First geometrical interpretation of the dark matter phenomenon.
Second geometrical interpretation of the dark matter phenomenon.
The question of the repulsive power of vacuum. An alternative answer.
( the twin universe responsible for the re-acceleration of expansion )
Newton’s law and Poisson equation.
( twin cosmology in Newtonian approximation )
Scalar curvatures.
( conjugated scalar curvatures )
3 - A complete cosmological evolution model. Coupling with the concept of "variable constants" during the radiation era.
Link
The radiation era.
( constants that vary depending on the value of radiation pressure )
The homogeneity of the Universe.
( alternative to Linde's inflationary scenario: a cosmological horizon varying as the scale factor R )
When the adverb “before” fails.
( how to account for time? An elementary clock )
Joint gravitational instabilities.
( two coupled Jeans equations )
The confinement of spheroidal galaxies.
Newton’s law and Poisson equation.
( twin cosmology in Newtonian approximation )
Scalar curvatures.
( conjugated scalar curvatures )
4 - What could twin matter be made of?
Link
What
twin matter could be made of.
( approach through dynamical group theory )
PT-Symmetry and CPT-symmetry.
( physical meaning of PT and CPT symmetries )
Leaking neutron star model: a challenger to black hole model.
( alternative to the black hole model: the "leaking" neutron star )
5 - Do black holes exist?
Link
Black holes do not exist.
( theme of the hypertoroidal bridge, wormhole between the universe and its twin )
